Ladymount Catholic Primary School

Wirral, CH61 5YD · Wirral · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
4.8/10 Broadly average

27th of 74 primary schools in Wirral we can score, 90 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 3,315 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8/10 among them, against 4.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8 out of 10 among them, against 4.6 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 241 pupils in a building with 315 places, leaving 74 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What does the daily timetable look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school engage parents in monitoring progress between formal reports?
